Attending my friend's father-in-law funeral caused me to have some thoughts about my own. One thing for sure, I know I wanted to be cremated and have my family do to my ashes what they wish, as long as they don't flush it. As for flowers, I would like to direct donations to charities in lieu of flowers.
Of course, I also wonder who would show up at my funeral. It makes me think that I need to make more of an impact in my community than I'm doing currently. I don't think anyone would miss me except my family and close friends. I think that I have lived a rather self-centered life up to now. Hopefully, this will be a reminder that I need to impact the community/world I live in more than I do now. We'll see where this leads as time goes by.
